0304: background service app update [windows]
- the service implies a check is done first, I'm more concerned with the actual updating: not that updates are bad, it's about controlling when (if ever e.g. my test suite)
- since 0301 has to be done manually in Windows, 0302 is a good fallback **IF** the background service is applicable (read the link)
- clean up the numbering
